CARO was founded in response to the desire for an alternative to the perceived rigidity of traditional obedience and remains committed to being an inclusive and welcoming organisation—one that combines performance excellence with a positive attitude and genuine enjoyment of the sport. Trial Officials play a vital role in championing this vision, both in and out of the ring, by modelling the CARO spirit through their conduct and actively promoting CARO’s values.
This guide is designed to support all Trial Officials, including:
• Judges
• Trial Hosts
• Trial Chair
• Trial Secretary
• Stewards (volunteers assisting at trials)
We hope you find this resource helpful in preparing for, hosting, and officiating successful CARO events.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please reach out to the Board.
